Wood burnig stove part 2 and new tarp

Howdy boys and girls,

just got my new 10x11' JRB tarp and wanted to try it out when I read the original "wodd burning stove thread" so I though I combine two things. So, I set out to try the tarp and I must say I really very happy with it: Big, yet very packable and very intelligently fitted with loops so all kinds of setups are possible. Also, I brought my stove and fitted everything together. Why, you may ask, did I want want to ruin a perfectly good and brand new tarp at the very beginning? Well, it ain't quite so. Have a look at the foto stroy and let me hear what you think. http://picasaweb.google.com/kdr911/N...eat=directlink
Conclusion is: A wood burning stove as a closed system with stovepipe and everything works really well, but you got to be constantly on alert so things don't go wrong. I might do it again, but you can't really relax while firing away. PVC and fire just don't mix too well.

OK, so I have to admit I laughed when I saw the pic 'There she blows'! Did you do any in/out thermometer readings to get an idea of how many btu's you were catching with the tarp?
The only negative that jumps at me is the size of the stove pipe! and I think if in my area of the woods a ranger saw the set up he def. be quizzing me about what kinda of meth i might be brewing
